Corny thoughts about pickin’ it It's corn shelling time in Kansas. Time to pick the crop. Not cut it. Not combine it. Farmers thumb their noses at such expressions. You cut wheat. You pick corn. But if you're a longtime corn farmer, it's shellin' time. Here's the thing: Prices aren't all that great with crops this year. It's because farmers do too good a job at feeding the world. Out in western Kansas, elevator operators haven't even shipped most of the wheat they bought from farmers back in June. Near Yoder, there's a 5-million bushel mountain of wheat stored on an old Naval runway. Same at Oakley and Minneola. Local cooperatives often store the grain they buy, at least for a few months until the prices go up. But with the price of wheat still really low, they're piling it up for another month or so. Meanwhile, the corn, ____________________________ PUBLIC NOTICE Death Notices The Taylor Newspaper Family publishes death notices as a free service.

A couple of weeks ago I turned sixty-five years old. That used to be the standard retirement age at a lot of companies, and was cause for a retirement party and the presentation of the obligatory gold watch. I guess that’s not the case anymore as I’m still waiting for the party and the watch. People who are self-employed don’t have some of the “perks” as employees with a regular job. Pensions, paid vacations, paid sick leave, or company paid insurance are not usually a part of the equation. Now, to top it off, I didn’t even get a retirement party! For those of us who are self-employed, retirement requires a significant amount of planning, and the planning needs to start long before turning sixty-five.

There’s an old adage that says, “Pay yourself first.” But that’s difficult for a business owner who has to pay everyone else first before taking a dime. Regardless, it’s important to establish some sort of retirement plan in order to be able to walk away from working every day. Don’t operate your company year after year in a way to avoid paying taxes. That results in two things; it will make it difficult to sell, and it will lessen the amount of any Social Security benefits you hope to receive. Be smart, plan early, and retire when you’re ready. ____________________________ PUBLIC NOTICE (First published in the Labette Av- enue, Wednesday, August 17, 24 and 31, 2016) IN THE 11TH DISTRICT JUDICIAL DISTRICT DISTRICT COURT OF LABETTE COUNTY, KANSAS IN THE MATTER OF THE PETITION OF Julie Anne Strachan To Change Her Name To: Emily Julianne Rose Case No. 16CV28OS PURSUANT TO K.S.A.

We enjoyed afternoon tea at Mandarian Oriental, where we got several finger sandwiches and tiny desserts. Pizza, Italian, Oceanana and Chinese food were consumed.

Yes, I know that technically fall doesn’t start until Thursday, Sept. 22, but you just can’t help but be excited for what’s coming! I was reminded of this on Sunday, when I had one of my little four-year old ladies come and say to me, “Wis-a-ba! Me and mommy…we baked a pumpkin pie on a pumpkin day! Then us danced with daddy and ate the pie. It was so good! Then us went to bed.” I was later able to ask her dad about this epic pumpkin day and he confirmed that not only did she help grow the pumpkin but she also helped make the pumpkin pie! Part of the reason fall is so exciting, is that it brings new growth. Apple trees ELISABETH RUCKER ELISABETH@ are producing apples, carrots, pumpkins, TAYLORNEWS .ORG and kale are growing and almost ready for harvest, mums are blooming brightly, and there just seems to be an air of hope that comes with new life in the fall. It reminds me of the excitement and hope that Christians have after being saved from a life of sin. After being saved, Christians are given hope. Hope of new life and the ability to produce new, good fruits, or actions, that glorify God and produce joy within us, instead of living in a constant state of sin. We have hope that our lives, hearts, and relationships can be made new because the God of the universe has given us new life and the ability to conquer sin. Isn’t that amazing? I am so thankful that the Creator of the universe gives new life and hope, both in season and out of season. Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine extra day of vacation.

Yard signs are going up in all towns, and many candidates are making door-to-door treks to get acquainted. Most of those running hold common views on rural Kansas values, and even their political opinions are quite similar, regardless of party affiliation. The Kansas political landscape needs a good shaking, and it's getting it. Coming out of the recent primary election, several longtime legislators --- mostly Brownback loyalists --- lost their bids for re-election. It sets up a much better camp in Topeka for lawmaking as moderation is making a much-needed return. It's far from an outright sweep, and that's good, too. There's nothing wrong with keeping a good amount of conservative thinking in the Legislature. But it was getting too heavy to the right and needed some balance. The ballot box is still the civil way to make such adjustments in course. We only wish the presidential races carried such a common sense line of campaigning. — Rudy Taylor, publisher By Jenny Diveley - Taylor Newspapers P.O.

Oh, I have no problem reading the words but I’m just not good at the sport of it. You have to be calm, focused, and willing to let your mind be totally devoted to that book. And darnit, I’m fidgety. A book has to grab me not only in the first chapter, but even in the artwork on the cover. So that already rules out most of the classics from Shakespeare and Charles Dickens that aren’t exactly known for their book jackets. The book also has to be a fast read, one that I can skim the boring parts and still get the point of the story. It even helps if the condensed version is online so I can catch the highlights there. And of course, finding a time and location to best suit a good read is essential. Sitting next to the window makes me want to clean them. Reading in bed only makes me that much sleepier. And reading outside has always been a mystery to me because my experience has been that I use the book as a bug swatter and ultimately a drink coaster. I have always believed that smart people are good readers. That’s why my bedside table is filled with books and the Kindle app on my phone is always chiming to notify me that my last four books are all still only 15% read. So, it’s fun to anticipate those cold winter days ahead and the idea of curling up with a good book. I just need clean windows, no bugs, a good night’s rest and a pretty book cover. Then I’m ready to be a smart book reader. Ode to that handy umbrella Nearly everyone has an umbrella, but are you aware that there are so many kinds and so many names for one? There are rain umbrellas, baby umbrellas, patio umbrellas, beach umbrellas, or golf umbrellas. They are very useful objects that can be hand-held, or mounted to be most effective. They can be manually operated or spring loaded. Some even have a mechanism for tilting while others are stationary. Whatever type you need, there is a solution. The greatest of interest are the names that have been given them over the years. Specific names have been given in literature, others have come from children’s fond reference to them, and others are suspected to have come from a sense of humor. Mary Poppins had a magical use for her umbrella. Names that have come Marna Taylor Writer emeritus through history are parasol, bumpershoot, brolly, gamp, bumberbell, rella, hippo, shirk, or knirps. Paraguas is the word in Spanish for rain umbrellas and sombrilla is for sun umbrellas. Personal hand umbrellas are used all over the world. There are beautiful shapes, sizes and artful decorations that are unique to each country. I suppose there is even a support apparatus for holding the umbrella without using your hands.

The sermon series entitled “Time,” will continue this Sunday, Sept. 4. The new series is about “Time” because it is gradual - only happening a day at a time. “When we come to understand the great value of time, it is easy to see why it is essential for us as Christians to honor God with our Time,” Pastor Steve McBrien said. You are invited to attend the Morning Worship at 10:45 a.m. Also a missionary to Germany, Austin Brown will be in the service.

The other group held at the Family Life Center is taught by Roger and Kelly Vance on “Prayer.” Both groups will start at 6 p.m. • Friday, Sept. 9 - will be servicing the OHS Football team dinner. The prayerless nation discussed at First Southern Pastor Ed Pope’s message at the First Southern Baptist Church was taken from James 4 on the topic of, “Prayerlessness in our Nation.” The first reason people fail to pray is their sense of self sufficiency. They have everything they want. They can buy it by cash or on credit. They feel they don’t need the church and don’t need God. Our nation needs a spiritual awakening. Many people, even Christians, pray selfish prayers with the wrong motives. They try to bargain with God. They want God to do what will help them. Christians should be praying for a renewal in our land. We need to pray for God to send a revival and to let it begin with us. People often become selfindulgent and are most interested in working for material things rather than being spiritually minded. We often see strife in churches where the church members have disagreements over trivial things. When a cat gets its fur rubbed the wrong way, the cat needs to turn around. Like the cat, we sometimes need to change our attitudes or viewpoints to make things go smoother. According to statistics, seven out of ten people do not have a relationship with Jesus Christ. That means that there are eight hundred to nine hundred lost people in Oswego. The local church has failed to reach the lost. According to the Bible, evangelism is not a gift, but a duty. It is our Christians duty to tell others about Jesus. Everyone is invited to join the church for breakfast and Sunday School at 9:30 a.m. with church following at 10:45 a.m. The church is located at 1228 North Street in Oswego.

Rebuild fescue lawns with fall fertilizer Fescue turfgrass is a coolseason grass. Cool-season grasses begin a new growth cycle in late summer when nighttime temperatures drop and stay consistently cool. Because of this it’s an excellent opportunity to assist in the lawn’s recovery caused by weeds, wear and summer heat stress. The transition into fall is often accompanied by rainfall. Along with cooler nights, available soil moisture is an important stimulator that awakens fescue grass plants made dormant by summer heat. If late summer rainfall is in short supply it’s helpful to thoroughly irrigate the lawn at this time in late August. Fertilizer is typically applied to the lawn in early fall when the fescue grass begins to show signs of new growth. Lawn fertilizer is formulated with a high percentage of nitrogen, usually at least twenty percent or more. The other two fertilizer elements supplied by the fertilizer are phosphate and potash. Phosphate fertilizer should only be applied if a soil test indicates a need. A typical lawn fertilizer may have an analysis of 29-05 (there’s no phosphate in this fertilizer – the second number is phosphate and the third number is potash). The application rate for the early Sep- tember application is approximately five to seven pounds of lawn fertilizer for each 1,000 square feet of lawn area. You’ll need to measure your lawn’s area and calculate how much fertilizer you’ll need to apply. After applying the fertilizer thoroughly irrigate the lawn. Irrigating helps dissolve the fertilizer and move it into soil where it can be taken up by the grass roots. Early fall fertilization of the fescue lawn is a very important lawn management practice because it improves leaf growth and crown development. The result is a denser, stress and wear-resistant turf with a more even appearance.

(Courtesy photo) LCHS students showcase business talents at the national level Altamont, KS – Every year, Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA) members compete in events such as tests, speeches, and presentations for the opportunity to showcase their talents in business. Their preparations begin in January as they prepare for the district competition. Those who place in their respective events at district then compete at the state level, each striving to qualify for the FBLA National Leadership Conference (NLC). Only a select few qualify for the NLC each summer.

Jes- sica Brooks, junior, competed in social media campaign; Jade Davis, Alison Hinman, and Logan Meyer, sophomores, competed in Introduction to Business Presentation; and Megan Hyatt, sophomore, competed in the Accounting I test. Not only did the students compete; they also attended interactive workshops, which enlightened the students on LCC committee holds memorial auction A book scholarship committee at Labette Community College is helping students financially through a book loan program, the Debbie Groff Memorial Book Scholarship. The committee began a live and silent auction of homemade desserts, baked goods, savory items to raise funds for the book scholarship. Funds raised help students each semester utilize textbooks that they are loaned during the semester and then must return at the end of the semester. “The auction held last week raised $3,278 for the Debbie Groff Book scholarship,” committee member and Director of Student Support Services, Kelly Kirkpatrick said. Since the fall of 2013, over $14,000 has been raised for the Debbie Groff Memorial Book Scholarship. For fall, spring and summer of 201516 there were 625 applications for books and the Debbie Groff Memorial book scholarship was able to help 350 students.

Immediately afterward, they also approved the budget for special districts in the county, such as cemeteries and townships. During the budget hearings, there were no comments from the public. All three commissioners noted that the budget process was longer this year, and required many special work sessions and meetings. A budget of $14,394,414 was approved which will require a levy of 61.807. A final figure on the levy will be set later in the year once valuations are established and delinquent taxes are deducted. Total valuation for the county is up slightly this year. In other issues discussed at the meeting: √ Mike Meyers, representing the Public Works Department, recommended a tire purchase. Sixteen Hankook drive tires for the county's dump trucks will be purchased for $5,040 from Bartlett Coop. Also, eight 16-play Gladiator tires will be bought from Cross Midwest for $2,192. √ Commissioners voted to accept a proposal from Mike Meyer who represented Higher Calling Technologies on a back-up system for the county's computer systems. The new back-up system will cost $2,000 upfront for hardware, plus $429 per month. Meyer said this would be an enhancement to current back-up procedures. √ The commissioners announced they planned to meet with Lee Ann Spencer from the Labette Assistance Center regarding a program called CA$H IDA. Their meeting will be on Sept. 12. √ The commission voted to approve a speed limit change on North 8th in Chetopa from the city limits to 4000 Road. It will now become 30 m.p.h. rather than 55 m.p.h. as previously enforced along that roadway. Signs will be posted.

That’s sure where he would rather be now, but that’s just not possible. He has some more recuperation time coming his way before he can return home. Home N Sight is helping Harold work toward that goal. A few weeks ago, Harold fell in his bathroom at home and got a nasty bump on his head. After a week in the hospital, Dr. Gillis recommended additional rehabilitation via a short-term stay at Home N Sight. Harold enjoys a comfortable, private room while our staff of professional aides and nurses sees to his every need. Our on-site therapy department communicates with Harold’s doctor to make sure he continues to make progress toward his goal of going back home. It’s our pleasure to help patients like Harold get better and return to the place they love and call home.
